Avocado Tzatziki Dip Recipe
Avocado makes everything better
You love tzatziki, and you love guacamole. So why not combine the best of both worlds into one superior dip. Puréed avocado and serrano chile join the classic yogurt, cucumber and dill mélange. It's rich and refreshing, making it perfect for crudités and pita chips alike.
Unlike guacamole, this dip can be made a few hours before serving. The acidity in the yogurt helps maintain the vibrant green color. Just make sure to serve it the same day you make it.
